Instructions
- Cook the pecans in a large (ungreased) skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a plate or bowl and set aside.
- Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until crisp. Transfer cooked bacon to paper-towel-lined plate, and then remove all but 1 Tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet.
- Add the sliced shallot and sauté, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, shredded Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts cook down and begin to brown, about 8–10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon or orange juice. Transfer to a serving dish or bowl.
- Chop the bacon into bite-size pieces. Add to the Brussels sprouts, along with the dried cranberries, apple, and toasted pecans. Toss to combine.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh orange juice, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss to combine.
- If desired, top with optional parmesan cheese before serving. Serve salad warm.
- Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
